Cape Town: Bloubergstrand has the most stunning views of Table Mountain and the City Bowl

Bloubergstrand Cape Town Bloubergstrand Cape Town Bloubergstrand Cape Town When you see a picture of Cape Town it is usually one that shows all of the iconic Table Mountain from a distance with a long stretch of deep blue sea lying in front of it. This is a view I had never seen despite going to Cape Town a few times. And so on my recent trip there, I decided it was time to correct this and bag myself a few of those trophy shots of Cape Town for…

CAPE TOWN: DISTRICT SIX MUSEUM (INTERESTING REMINDER OF A KEY EVENT IN APARTHEID HISTORY)

…Town The forced removal of around 60000 non-white people from the area of Cape Town called District Six into the more remote and desolate Cape Flats during South African Apartheid, came to be one of the symbols of the injustices of the era. The area had been reclassified as a “white” area in 1966 despite generations, and the homes of those moved were bulldozed. The museum was established in one of the few remaining buildings (an old place of wors…

Cape Town: Kloof Street (Trendy and upcoming!)

Kloof Street Cape Town, originally uploaded by garybembridge. Cape Town seems to always be evolving and changing. This is especially true when it comes to places to eat and go out to. It seems that Cape Town is a very social place to live in, and people seem to go out to eat a great deal. As parts of the city get taken over by the tourist trade, it seems that new areas and places open up for the locals to enjoy. Kloof Street in the Tamboerskloof…

Cape Town: Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

…(5), originally uploaded by garybembridge. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town, South Africa (11), originally uploaded by garybembridge. I have been to Cape Town 4 times in the last 10 years and never visited the Kirstenbosch Gardens, despite it being recommended to me many times. It seemed to me to be a really dull day out to go and visit a botanical garden. But today we decided to actually go and do it – and it turned out to be a very beau…

Cape Town Nudist Beach Sandy Bay. Beautiful, Unspoilt, Naked Suntan.

…blue and green, and very cold. It feels even colder than the sea closer to Cape Town like Clifton Beach. Sandy Bay is probably not for the casual day-tripper as is quite a trek to get to and find, and which is why it is probably been successful as a nudist beach as (barring the odd reported voyeur) a place only people comfortable with nudism head.

So we are now here is the very sunny and glorious weather in Cape Town, South Africa. This is the start of 3 weeks of total indulgence in South Africa and Zambia. 3 weeks of relaxing, unwinding and enjoying just lying back and being lazy. We flew in yesterday (Christmas Day) from London H…

Cape Town Fish Market Restaurant (Victoria and Albert Waterfront)

Cape Town Fish Market Restaurant (Victoria and Albert Waterfront)

…Victoria and Albert Waterfront), originally uploaded by garybembridge. The Cape Town Fish Market restaurant is billed as “South Africa’s Premier Seafood Restaurant”. Scary. As it clearly is not the best in the waterfront area of Cape Town, let alone Cape Town (which is packed of many very good places to eat). The CPFM bills itself as serving sushi and great seafood. It is really a large sort of spin on “TGIF” steak and ribs sort of place – but wit…

Kalk Bay, Cape, South Africa

…lly uploaded by garybembridge. This quaint and fun town is on the way from Cape Town to Cape Point, or if you prefer Boulder Bay (penguins) or Simonstown (Naval Base), It is a popular holiday town and weekend place to visit, and the main road which runs through the town gets very clogged and slow – and it is very hard to find somewhere to park. The main part of town is charming and the architecture from its heyday as a weekend and holiday stop ree…

Cape Town Restaurants: Beluga Restaurant

…mbridge. The photo I have here of the entrance to the Beluga Restaurant in Cape Town does not do justice to the decor and look of this place. Although all my pictures did not come out as the place is so dimly lit that unless you use the harshest of flashes you will struggle to take photos! The restaurant is probably one of the most famous in Cape Town, and has the honour of being rated in magazines like Conde Nast Traveller as one of the best rest…

Sandy Bay Nudist Beach Cape Town: Travel Photo

Sandy Bay Nudist Beach Cape Town Sandy Bay Nudist Beach Cape Town This week’s Friday Travel Photo is one I took at the fairly remote nudist beach at Sandy Bay Cape Town. You have a long walk over rocks to get there, so you need to be a determined and fairly fit nudist to get there. It is a stunning beach. This is one of the most viewed pictures of mine on Flickr. Possibly as people hoping to see some nudists? I like it as it has discarded clothes…

The Opal Lounge Restaurant Cape Town

The Opal Lounge Restaurant Cape Town

…. The Opal Lounge (ex Manolo until October 2008) is the best restaurant in Cape Town in my view! It is at the bottom of the trendy Kloof Street in a stunning and large Victorian house, that appraently was a farmhouse on a farm providing vegetables to the fast growing Cape Town. Now it is the heart of the bustling city. The decor is powerful and very striking. The entrance hall and bar are all black with touches of gold. The eating rooms are also d…
